Monday, Monday

I love listening to streaming radio, yet cannot tolerate regular radio stations. I couldn't think of why, and then I realize: Ah, the fucking idiot djs. That's it. Also, no commercials for Big Bob's Used Car Lot. And I can choose what format I want (right now, on iTunes Fresh Air student radio from University of Edinburgh).

So I guess it's no big surprise that I can't handle regular radio.

I went to the opera this weekend, and it was fun and weird. Fun, because I went with a friend and she was a hoot. Weird, because I saw someone I know only slightly, chatted with her for a moment, and then it turned out she was sitting 2 seats down from me. How does that happen? What butterfly flapped its wings?

Oh, the opera was pretty good, too.

We've been playing Rock Band, and I'm the singer. I have the hardest time with songs by the Ramones and the Clash. Explain, please, how I can't sing with the atonal? When my voice is equally as bad as Joey Ramone's?

How do you get more difficulties? Play at medium or play harder songs?
